One of the major mods available for Mount and Blade, creating a total conversion based on the Ranger's Apprentice Series authored John Flanagan. The mod is based on the people and places rather than the storyline, hence it doesn't follow story-specific events. Includes a map make-over, many new troops and cool features. There is full implementation of the Form Ranks kit, More Metal Sound Mod, Camp Entrenchment, and Sea Battles. You're missing out if you don't give it a go!

yeah. downloaded to a different folder, (my computer wouldnt let me save it to modules. admin permission needed). Whatever that means.
anyway, its in a seperate folder. Instead of it being a whole package like most mods, its jut the file with the 7-zip logo.

Is everything as it should be or did I miss a step?

then, I copy it to the actual modules folder. I have to tell it to 'run as adminstrator' (wont run otherwise). Everything extracts and now there's a folder called ranger apprentice v2.0 or whatever.

so far so good? if not, tell me.

......alright, well it working fine now. whatever I did. So I guess I answered my own question. I think I had to run it as admin. before I was trying that rename as zip and all the other stuff a few of the other guys were talking about. Ah, I'll figure it later. Now, to play.

When I first heard ranger being talked about, I was like, "Really? a mod based on M. Knight Shyalaman's The Village?" although that would be a neat mod, it'd be kinda hard since it'd be a few villages surrounded by the monsters. (I never actually saw the movie, so I dont know what I'm talking about).

But I digress, very nice mod, possibly my new fave. Job very well done.

ALso, I've been thinking of a super-hero mod. Your character is a super hero, and you pick from a list of powers, i.e. flight, x-ray vision, invisibility, teleport, etc. and the armor would be the super hero costumes, weapons would be tied-in to abilities (x-ray goggles increase spotting by 3 levels, arrows and/or guns are increased by 25 damage via flight ability, etc.) The towns would be like New York, Gotham, Budapest (from Van Helsing). VH not really super hero, but I consider him one.

anyway, I would do it myself, make the mod. Trouble downloading ranger apprentice, I'd make my computer crash trying to make a mod. LOL
